10 Reasons Why You Should Have Your Daily Bowl Of Curd

Curd, also known as dahi is a lactic fermentation of milk. It is valued for its smoothness and pleasant and refreshing taste. It is highly versatile, health promoting, and one of the most valuable therapeutic foods.


The benefits of curd that you experience are usually due to the nutrients available in this dairy product. For instance, if you consume 150 g of curd, you will provide your body with 100 to 150 calories, 2 g of saturated fat, 3.5 g of fat, 20 g of sugar, and about 8 to 10 g of protein. It also provides your body with about 20% of your daily vitamin D portion and 20% of your daily calcium value.

Here are the other benefits of eating curd:

1. Improves digestion

One of many benefits is that it helps improve your digestion, which is mainly due to the nutrients available in curd. Eating curd will make it easier for your body to absorb nutrients from other food items that you eat. Some studies have also confirmed that consuming curd may help cure many stomach infections, including H.pylori infection.

2. Boosts immunity

Thanks to the presence of good bacteria, curd can strengthen your immune system and make it possible for you to enjoy better health. Eating it daily will also play a role in preventing vaginal yeast infection.

3. Strengthens your bones and teeth

Like other dairy products, curd contains calcium that plays a role in strengthening your bones and teeth. It also contains phosphorous that combines with calcium to promote bone growth. Eating curd regularly will help prevent diseases like arthritis and osteoporosis.

4. Eliminates dandruff

Have you already tried a number of haircare products to get rid of dandruff and failed? It's time to try curd! Your dandruff is basically a fungal infection, and curd has anti-fungal properties mainly due to the availability of lactic acid. You simply need to add some curd to your scalp and leave it for an hour or so. Wash it off with water to eliminate dandruff.

5. Releases anxiety and stress

It is hard not to feel stressed in today's highly competitive world, but being depressed can have negative effects on your health. Curd is the solution here. Add curd to your diet and you will feel less anxious and stressed. Curd can lower levels of activity in your brain that's directly related to pain and emotion.

6. Helps lose weight

Curd contains loads of calcium, and calcium can be quite important in preventing cortisol formation in your body. In the absence of calcium, you will experience imbalance of cortisol, which usually leads to issues like obesity and hypertension. You simply need to eat at least 18 ounces of curd daily to shed some belly fat.

7. Improves your cardiovascular health

Consuming curd daily will reduce risks of coronary heart diseases because it discourages the formation of cholesterol in your arterial region. It also means eating yogurt will prevent hypertension and promote better cardiovascular health.

8. Improves your skin

Instead of trying other chemical-rich beauty products, you should rely on curd to enhance your beauty and get glowing skin. Curd contains several minerals like vitamin E, zinc, and phosphorous, all of which play a role in improving your complexion and skin texture. You can even make a face pack mixing gram flour, curd, and lemon together. Wear it for 15 minutes and wash it off with water to have soft, glowing skin.

9. Great substitute of milk

One of many benefits of curd is that those who don't want to drink milk can eat curd to enjoy similar benefits. For some, it is hard to digest milk, but even they will find it easy to eat and digest curd; in fact, it will boost their digestive system and make them feel better. You can also switch to curd if you're lactose intolerant.

10. Improves your sexual health

Some studies have shown that consuming yogurt may help people who have some sort of sexual health problem, such as sexual impotency and low libido.
